I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

You can just stop there.

Also, I really like Ryan Gosling, and he's a good host. I just didn't think the writing was very good.
